GOVERNOR MARTINEZ DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SHE'S WILLING TO COMPROMISE ON DRIVERS LICENSES FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. THERE'S A BILL IN THE WORKS IN THE LEGISLATURE THAT WOULD ALLOW UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS TO GET A LICENSE FOR DRIVING ONLY...AND NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION. BUT THE GOVERNOR SAYS THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. SHE SAYS HER RESPONSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT 72 PERCENT OF NEW MEXICANS WANT THE LAW REPEALED THAT ALLOWS LICENSES FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

MARTINEZ SAYS NEW MEXICO HAS BEEN A MAGNET FOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BECAUSE OF THE LAW...WHICH HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR 10 YEARS.
